Next Widmark Wednesday features military legal drama

PRINCETON— The next Widmark Wednesday film stars former Princeton resident Richard Widmark in a 1957 military legal drama.

The movie begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Princeton Public Library. Admission is free.

Widmark plays a Korean War-era Army officer assigned to investigate the traitorous acts of a fellow officer, played by Richard Basehart, who admits betraying his country while a prisoner of war and steadfastly refuses to defend himself.

As Widmark’s character probes deeper into the case, however, the startling truth begins to emerge.
